Fondex — where it wins, where it loses
Fondex does not currently take a column outright against this field. It loses on tier-1 cover, published spread. Its cost per ten lots is not confirmed, so it is left out of the cost ordering rather than estimated.
Column by column
The split
Two lists, no averaging. A broker that takes a column outright appears on the left of it; one that gets beaten on a column appears on the right. Nothing is scored into a single number, because a single number hides which side you actually care about.
Wins on
No column where Fondex takes the field outright.
Loses on
- tier-1 cover
- published spread
Cost per 10 lots is the EUR/USD spread cost of ten round-turn standard lots at the figure above, commission excluded. Where a broker publishes a "from" spread rather than an average, the comparison inherits that limitation — see the unconfirmed list further down.
Licensing
Which entity, which regulator, which number
Tier decides how much weight a licence carries in any safety column. Each row links to the page it was read from.
| Regulator | Number | Jurisdiction | Tier | Entity | Read from |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CySEC | 138/11 | Cyprus | Tier 2 | TopFX Ltd | topfx.com |
| FSA Seychelles | Seychelles | Tier 3 | TopFX Global Ltd | fsaseychelles.sc |

Facts the comparison runs on
On the record
- Fondex is a trade name associated with the TopFX group in Cyprus; TopFX Ltd's own risk disclosure states it is authorised and regulated by CySEC under licence number 138/11.
- The Seychelles FSA register page previously indexed as Fondex Limited now resolves to TopFX Global Ltd, listed as a Securities Dealer (checked 9 August 2026).
- Fondex's own website did not load over several fetch attempts on 9 August 2026, so no figures were taken from it.
- Fondex marketed a single commission-based account on the cTrader platform.
